PUBLIC LAW 95-113—SEPT. 29, 1977 United States. The maximum rate of assessment authorized hereunder represents an infinitesimal proportion of the overall cost of manufacturing wheat end products. Therefore, such assessment will not significantly affect the retail prices of those products. Furthermore, any price effect will be more than offset by the increased efficiency in end product manufacture and increased consumer acceptance, due to nutritional improvements in wheat products, which may be expected to follow from adoption of a plan under this title. Nothing in this title shall be construed to provide for control of production or otherwise limit the right of individual wheat producers to produce wheat. DEFINITIONS
7 USC 3402.
